	Cavity King
When the security of plenty of formaldehyde and good penetration is desired, Frigid Fluid recommends Cavity King. At 25 index this cavity fluid furnishes excellent preservative power to protect against visceral putrefaction and odor development. Combined with a particularly effective penetrant, the formaldehyde in Cavity King is enabled to reach the hard to get spots to assure the embalmer of well preserved cavity areas and reduced risk of complications at embarrassing times. Cavity King does an outstanding job of controlling decomposition because of its high formaldehyde content and good penetration into the trouble areas. It can also be used for treating infant cases where arterial embalming is difficult to accomplish. For regular cavity work on an average sized body, 1 or 2 pints of Cavity King are recommended. For larger bodies or bodies where decomposition is well under way, at least two pints or more are recommended. Professional judgment should always dictate in these cases. For use as an external pack for skin slip, bed sores, and other regions of decomposition, saturate cotton or toweling with Cavity King and place it over the affected area. Cover the pack with plastic sheeting to improve contact, and to control the fumes. View Catalog  Order now
	Dry Guard
Dry Guard's special formula results in excellent penetration and preservation of tissue. The affected tissue is very firm and dry assuring the embalmer that the tissues of the cavities are well preserved. The possibility of missed areas within the cavities, and subsequent decomposition, is reduced by the penetrating ability of the fluid. As a surface pack, Dry Guard helps to firm and preserve areas of skin slip and spongy tissue. The combination of its penetrating power and its ability to reduce moisture in tissue makes it outstanding for this purpose among cavity fluids. Dry Guard, when used externally or just under the skin, will help to bleach darkened areas and reduce swollen areas. For regular cavity work on a normal body, use 16 to 32 ounces of Dry Guard. Larger bodies, or those with extensive putrefaction, may require 2 to 3 pints according to the dictates of professional judgment. Reaspiration and the use of additional cavity fluid is always recommended with any cavity fluid. As a pack for skin slip, bed sores, and other troubling surface problems saturate cotton or toweling with Dry Guard and place it on the affected area. Cover with plastic to control any fumes, and direct the fluid into the problem area. For use as a bleach or to reduce swollen areas apply as a surface pack as above. For deeper discolorations or swelling, hypo into the affected area according to need. View Catalog  Order now
	Vis-O-Guard Gel
Vis-O-Guard Gel has been developed for cases where high penetration and odor control are needed. Vis-O-Guard Gel is a surface embalming material of high viscosity designed to cling very well to tissue. It contains proven preservatives, deep penetration agents, and gas and odor control chemicals. As a result, it will deodorize and preserve putrid tissue as well as areas of the body that arterial embalming may have missed. For abdominal cavity and cranial cavity walls brush or spatula or hand apply (use of double gloves highly recommended) a heavy coating of Vis-O-Guard Gel to the walls and let it penetrate into the tissue. Most seepage will also be eliminated. Where arterial injection may not have reached a surface of the body, apply a heavy coating of Vis-O-Guard Gel to the area with a spatula. Cover the treated area with plastic to control preservative fumes and encourage penetration of the preservatives into the tissue. Let it sit as long as feasible. No other treatment should be required. Vis-O-Guard Gel is especially useful when odor control is needed along with preservation. Bed sores and areas of skin slip can be taken care of easily by coating them with the gel and covering with plastic. View Catalog  Order now
	5-Purpose Cavity
For unequalled penetration, 5-Purpose Cavity is the answer. Because of its special formulation, formaldehyde can penetrate deeply into tissue so that areas that are difficult to treat or reach are thoroughly preserved. Along with its excellent penetration properties, 5-Purpose Cavity combines the use of proven disinfectants, deodorizers, and preservatives to form a superior external pack. Used as a surface pack it quickly reaches the areas where decomposition is taking place. Its chemicals then act to neutralize the sources of odor and putrefaction and effectively preserve the tissue. 5-Purpose Cavity also works well as a bleach and is much safer to work with than the usual phenol-containing bleaches. Because of the use of several proven disinfectants and preservatives, its formaldehyde level can be kept low. This means the skin will not tend to pucker as with cavity fluids containing higher indexes. For regular cavity work on a normal body, use 32 ounces (2 bottles) of 5-Purpose Cavity. Larger bodies, or those with extensive putrefaction, may require 3 or more pints according to the dictates of professional judgment. Re-aspiration and the use of additional cavity fluid is usually recommended. For external embalming and/or bleaching, saturate cotton with 5-Purpose Cavity. Apply the cotton pack to the area to be treated and cover the pack with plastic. Let the chemical work overnight if possible. View Catalog  Order now
	Cavity 55
Cavity 55 gives the embalmer a low odor, formaldehyde containing cavity fluid with especially good disinfection and deodorizing capability and excellent penetration. Combining the action of four proven preservatives and disinfectants, Cavity 55 quickly penetrates to the areas where putrefaction and odor production are taking place, and stops them in their tracks. With the preservative and disinfection actions of formaldehyde as a base, Cavity 55 also takes advantage of the broad spectrum disinfection and sporicidal properties of glutaraldehyde and disinfection action of two additional disinfectants. The result is a potent cavity fluid that does not generate unpleasant formaldehyde vapors under normal conditions of use. For normal bodies of average weight, use 2 pints of Cavity 55. For larger bodies, or those in which decomposition is already underway, use 3 or more pints as professional judgment dictates. Re-aspiration followed by the use of additional Cavity 55 is recommended for most cases. For use as an external pack for bed sores, etc., saturate cotton with Cavity 55 and place on the area of need. Cover the pack with plastic and allow the chemical to work for several hours, overnight if possible. View Catalog  Order now
	Premium Cavity
Premium Cavity brings together the action of five potent preservatives and disinfectants resulting in an outstanding fluid. Among its features are excellent penetration, effective preservatives, broad spectrum disinfection, low formaldehyde odor, and the presence of Stop to halt tissue gas. Premium Cavity is formulated to penetrate quickly and deeply into tissue carrying the preservatives and disinfectants to the areas of need. Few cavity fluids penetrate as well and as effectively and can be trusted to reach difficult areas. Most cavity fluids rely on one special chemical to carry the preservatives into the tissue. Premium Cavity contains two to give the embalmer extra assurance. For broad spectrum disinfection and potential sterilization, glutaraldehyde has been included in the Premium Cavity formulation. Glutaraldehyde is also active against sporeformers such as clostrdium perfrigens, the primary organism responsible for tissue gas and gas gangrene. The glutaraldehyde, along with the inclusion of Stop in Premium Cavity, makes it an especially effective fluid to halt tissue gas. While Premium Cavity contains formaldehdye, necessary to assure good preservation, the formaldehyde is present at a relatively low level and does not create an odor problem. For normal bodies of average weight, use two pints of Premium Cavity. For larger bodies or those with extensive decomposition, use three or more pints of fluid. For tissue gas cases, apply or inject the concentrated fluid directly on or into the affected area. Re-aspiration and the use of additional Premium Cavity is recommended for most cases. This fluid contains the chemical ethylene dichloride which has recently been deemed unsafe for use in septic systems. If your prep room is attached to a septic system then you should use CAVITY 55 in place of Premium Cavity. View Catalog  Order now
